 Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is involved in the constant development of materials that meet specific application needs, including the requirements of standards and approvals, specified typically in water handling applications, pharmaceutical manufacturing and food processing. Expertise in elastomeric compounds allows us to offer formulations that can operate in temperatures from cryogenic up to 617°F (325°C) and provide almost universal chemical resistance. Ongoing developments in engineered thermoplastics and polyurethane have yielded some of the most successful materials available.
Our materials portfolio includes over 2,000 formulations, including several which are proprietary:
